As acrylamide fast becomes a significant concern for the food industry, Kerry has partnered with Renaissance BioScience Corp to launch Acryleast, a targeted
solution for acrylamide reduction. This new clean-label non-GMO yeast is rich in asparaginase enzyme, which can reduce acrylamide levels by up to 90
percent. Acryleast is applicable across a range of food and beverage products, including biscuits, crackers, French fries, potato chips, coffee and
infant food.

This licensing agreement was timely given recent EU acrylamide regulations, which came into force in April 2018, marking the beginning of the law which limits the amount of acrylamide allowed in packaged foods and forces manufacturers
to closely examine and reduce acrylamide levels in products.
